I think they must have had a bad batch as if you look on the DSS USA site they are also offering factory seconds at a reduced price, these are not listed on the UK site.
Just about to order a set from DSS UK and i hope they are not like you received, which i suspect are the factory seconds.

Thanks will google it Steve.

No problem you can have a set for free when i have them ready. fitting will be the same as you have already done. the blue and red rubbers were the same formula.
I have managed to get hold of a new rubber that i am having analysed etc. most modern engines these days use springs instead of rubbers. later on this year i will be doing a complete basket kit with a new CNC machined basket.

Hi Guys,
Update on the clutch damper kit:
Correct in that they did not last with the heat or oil, I did around 13000 Km's. then started to hear a knocking sound from the basket. only managed to change them at around 18000 km's, by this time they had virtually disintegrated.
I am working on a getting them moulded with a material that can handle the temp/and or oil etc.
Will update when ready.
Note: my bike is in the UK at the moment and i will be going back to tour a bit more in June, so will also bring some of the new damper rubbers with me.

Yes they are blue, i did have some red ones but the material was the same.
I plan to come back next year in the summer, to do some more touring around. anyone fancy a ride to Vladivostok?

Hi Guys,
I'm away traveling at the moment on my CB400F. I flew with bike from JHB to New york and rode across the USA and then up to Canada done around 20000KM's so far. flew from Vancouver to Frankfurt toured around Italy for a few weeks. i am now in the UK (Telford, Shropshire). just done a major sercice to the little 400. to get to the point, i had a clunking sound appear around 13000 km's, thought it might be the clutch. clunking was pretty loud at idle but ok when revved up.
Stripped the clutch last week and found the cush rubbers had disintigrated (I don't think the material can withstand extreme hot oil and heat etc).
So a message to all who i have supplied with my damper kits, check after a few thousand km's that they are still ok.
Put my bike through some pretty hard riding and extreme temp going through the Desert in California so they help up quite well considering.
I have a new design workied out, but will only get to it when i get back to SA.
Incase anyone is interested some specs and how parts help up etc.
520 EK brand chain with sprocket specialist sprockes (alloy rear). Excelent chain, only req adjusting after around 5000km's. just replaced the rear sprocket. so 19000km's on the rear, chain and front still good.
Tyres: Avon AM26 90/90 front, 100/90 rear. still in fair condition, rear squared off slightly but front has plenty miles left on it.
Rims: Morad alloy type, due to load spokes required checking as they lost tension on the rear every few thousand km's. front has excessive run out(must have done some damage somewhere) lost the balance weight and slow speed wobble appeared in Canada, just had it balanced again better but need a new rim.
Fuel consumption: averaged so far around 26km's per liter, or 62 or so USA MPG .
Front brake: pads as new, same for rear shoes. but front brake pivot now has some play.
That's it for now.
Going to the Stafford show in October if anyone is around that area.

Just to clarify this before you buy the wrong bearings. the front axle is 15.0mm diameter and uses a 6302 bearing. this is also the same for the other Honda 4 models.

Yes the play on the basket gear is due to the damper rubbers being hard and brittle. there will be no play in the rivet.
I do a few damper rubber sets made and have fitted a few. the assembly goes back together using HT M5 screws. the rivet hole is the correct size to just tap to M5.
